The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin is also meeting with Niu Hanzhang, Du Lisan, Sun Yutang, Liu Ai, Zhang Dazhu, Zhu Jianye, Zhou Hongkun, Dayasu and others.

Except for Liu Ai, they are all elderly people outside the customs, mainly in Lubin Mansion and Lugang Town.

Because Benjamin Goldberg had extensive investments in Lubin Mansion, Liu Ai was sent as his representative to participate in the Guan Foreign Business Group.

Needless to say, Zhu Jianye and Zhou Hongkun are old guys in Lugang Town and have made a lot of money in the past few years.

Zhang Daquan's younger brother Zhang Dazhu started his business in a chain of barber shops. Since hair shaving was not popular after all, the business had reached a bottleneck and he was thinking about a breakthrough.

Du Lisan had a wide network of contacts and a large business in Liao. After obeying Zhao Chuanxin and no longer opposing Zhang Zuolin, not only did he not die, but he became prosperous.

He strongly demanded to play a role in dealing with the Japanese.

Niu Hanzhang, the son of the richest man, is the president of the Foreign Chamber of Commerce.

But in this meeting, Zhao Chuanxin was the one sitting at the top, followed by Ge Yunpeng.

Zhao Chuanxin looked out the window and said: "On both sides of the Tumen River, there are stretches of fertile fields, beautiful mountains, and deep forest foothills. It is a rare geomantic treasure and a strategic location. Long before the Japanese, Bangzi had been thinking about it for a long time. Backwater If we were only on the north bank of the Tumen River, we would be facing the water, but now we are facing the water when we cross the river.”

Du Lisan handed over his hand: "Mr. Zhao is very calculating. Even before the "Huining Agreement" was drawn up, he was sure that they would ask us to withdraw our troops."

Everyone agreed.

"The other party's actions are not what Magistrate Zhao expected!"

Zhao Chuanxin flicked the ashes: "Don't flatter me. In fact, I took the lead in the meeting, and they didn't have much choice. The Guan Foreign Business Gang's escort team is actually the rebel army. They just took off their military uniforms and put on civilian clothes."

He came to the hung map. He was in Cicheng County, south of Lugang Town, and drew with a pen to Hongyuan County on the seaside: "I want you to infiltrate all of these places. As long as you are brave enough and do enough business, Big, loans from Lubinfu Bank and Lugang Town Bank can be approved at will.”

Zhou Hongkun is now not only the owner of a brick factory in Lugang Town, but his industry also involves real estate and catering.

He hesitated and said: "Master Zhao, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: "I injected 3 million big-eyeball gold coins into Lubinfu Bank and 1 million big-eyeball gold coins into Lugang Town Bank."

Everyone gasped.

Everyone knew that Zhao Chuanxin was rich, but to be so rich still felt outrageous.

Gold coins with big eyes are already circulating outside the customs.

In Lubin Mansion, banknotes have been tried out.

A gold coin with a big eyeball is worth ten yuan of Lugang Town's standard female general's money.

3 million big eyeball gold coins is 30 million oceans.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly took out 40 million yuan, which was too scary.

Niu Hanzhang smiled bitterly: "People at that time said that my father was the richest man outside the country. I don't think so. Magistrate Zhao is the richest man."

Zhao Chuanxin is still unable to compete with consortiums such as J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller in the United States.

But the cash on hand, combined with various fixed assets and investment shares, is not impossible to compete with them.

…

Fengtian, Governor's Mansion.

Xu Shichangzheng and Wu Luzhen were on the phone.

Xu Shichang was worried: "Zhao Tangong made a bad move. If Yuan Weiting left Korea, Japan would always be in charge and there would still be no peace on the border. Publicly, I support the withdrawal of troops. Personally, I am opposed to this matter. ”

In history, Xu Shichang always seems to be both good and evil, but in fact he is a relatively sober person.

He may seek his own policies in his position, but he may not agree with them.

That is to say, facing Wu Luzhen or Zhang Zuolin, he would not dare to say these words.

Wu Luzhen said in a low tone: "The lower officials also thought that the territory outside the pass was looted three times by the Russian and Japanese powers in ten years, and the country was lost. I really can't figure out why Zhao Tangong got the land and then gave it away."

Xu Shichang pondered for a moment: "Zhao Tanggong is good at running the army. He is also a master in managing civil affairs. He is also good at making calculations. He has an insight into current affairs and always has the upper hand. You should pay close attention to the changes in the situation on the south bank. If there is any change, you will immediately report."

…

Xu Shichang is not the only one paying attention to the situation in Yanbian outside the customs.

At the global level, Britain and the United States pay special attention to it.

Britain is now secretly allied with Japan, but the United States is dissatisfied with Japan's expansion of interests outside the country.

After reading the intelligence, U.S. Secretary of State Philander Knox sighed: "Zhao Chuanxin is confused, how can he withdraw his troops? The Japanese forces outside the Qing Dynasty have reached a point where they must be contained, otherwise the consequences will be endless."

After reading the information, the Russian consul in Hailar, Wu Sadi, hurriedly called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Zhao Chuanxin’s ambition is a mad dog, and it is a good thing to compete with the Japanese tigers, but we must be careful in Hassan Town and pay close attention to Vladivostok. Stoke.

He was worried that Zhao Chuanxin was crazy. In addition to the three places in South Korea, he was also thinking about Vladivostok.

Germany and Russia, on the other hand, paid close attention because of their rift with Zhao Chuanxin. Tsarist Russia in particular did not want Japan to take too much advantage, and was unwilling to fall out. At the same time, it also wanted to find an opportunity to bite Zhao Chuanxin back.

Japan's deputy superintendent in South Korea, Masakiji Temple, was furious.

He lost his wife and lost his troops.

Not only did he spend 100,000 pounds to buy a bunch of junk, but a batch of guns handed over to the Arms Limitation Committee disappeared.

Flos Feng was hospitalized due to a heart attack. Masaki Terauchi did not let him go and ran to the hospital to question: "Mr. Feng, I think you must give me an explanation. We have dismantled Zhao Chuanxin's vehicle and inspected it. All kinds of weapons. The Shenhuo Flying Crow is a backward, uncontrollable missile that is completely useless to modern military. We dismantled Zhao Chuanxin’s vehicle and found that there was only a motor, wind wheel, and fuel tank inside. surface."

Flos Feng looked lifeless, turned his head mechanically, and spoke in a flat tone, but the content was gloating: "When you were eager to buy Zhao Chuanxin's weapons and equipment, I couldn't guarantee the authenticity. Maybe it's like what Zhao Chuanxin said , His legs are strong and he can pedal fast. Maybe you can try it with a young and strong guy, maybe he can pedal at a speed of 50 miles per hour. "

Blanch!

Zhengyi in the temple is so angry. Are these human words?

His face was gloomy: "The 100,000 pounds also includes the money for the guns. Where are the guns?"

Flos Feng shrugged on the hospital bed: "I said that day, these guns belong to you, you can transport them away when they are gone. You didn't take good care of yourself, who is to blame? You shouldn't be looking for me, you should be looking for me Zhao Chuanxin, no one except him has the ability to quietly transport this batch of weapons and ammunition. "

Zhao Chuanxin returned to Sakhalin Island at this time.

From the south, Masayoshi Sato came with a team of female workers.

From the north, a group of skinny and dirty Russians came with their families.

The distance to the south was long, but Masayoshi Sato walked very quickly with the female workers.

The distance to the north is shorter, but the Russian body has been drained of energy by years of hard work, so the walk is slightly slower.

So both sides arrived at the peacekeeping bureau.

When Masayoshi Sato heard that the tall man wearing a denim shirt and large pants in front of him was Zhao Chuanxin.

He opened his mouth in surprise: "You..."

The Chinese hate the Japanese.

The Japanese hated Zhao Chuanxin.

This chain, from bottom to top, is the kind of hatred that is as deep as the sea but helpless.

In addition to hatred, the Japanese also have another characteristic - Muqiang.

Masayoshi Sato and a group of female workers had mixed feelings.

Generally speaking, women have a lighter concept of hatred between family and country than men.

Zhao Chuanxin looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "What are you? When you come to the Peacekeeping Bureau's territory, you will be protected. If you don't want to, just turn around and go back."

Masayoshi Sato was anxious: "We have come all the way here, how can you let us go back? There is a female worker whose calf is swollen. If we don't get treatment in time, she will die."

Zhao Chuanxin took out the alcohol and washed his hands, beckoned and said, "Come, let me take a look."

The female worker limped up to him. Zhao Chuanxin asked her to sit down and rolled up the female worker's trouser legs. As expected, her calves were swollen and turned purple.

He took out a willow leaf knife and quickly cut his calf with two strokes, causing blood to flow profusely.

Masayoshi Sato said sharply: "If you act like this, she will get infected."

Zhao Chuanxin did not even raise his head: "Only those who are alive deserve to be infected."

"..."

Zhao Chuanxin said to him: "Go to Kuroda Liliang of Fuxiang County and ask him to come over."

"Where should I find him? Who is he?" Masayoshi Sato was confused.

"If you don't know me, don't you know how to inquire? When you receive my order from now on, just go and do it and explain everything. Then what else do you need to do?"

Masayoshi Sato had no choice but to take two female workers and bite the bullet.

On the other side, in the coolie team of Tsarist Russia, Ludanovsky was talking to a Han Chinese named Neng Chengwen.

Neng Chengwen was a gangster from outside the Pass. He was originally active in the Xiaogushan area, but was later led by brothers Zhao Chuanxin, Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Guobao to wipe out the gangsters nearby and fled to Heilongjiang.

As a result, Chengming was also transferred there and continued the encirclement and suppression.

Later, he hid in a zone controlled by Tsarist Russia and was arrested.

Prisoners of the Primorye were transferred to Sakhalin, among whom there was a letter.

That day, Zhao Chuanxin told Ludanovsky to inquire about the Peacekeeping Bureau.

He first heard that the Peacekeeping Bureau was founded by Zhao Chuanxin, and then asked someone to inquire about Zhao Chuanxin.

Whether he can write about it or not, Ludanovsky has worked as a coolie on Sakhalin Island for many years. It cannot be said that he knows nothing about the outside world, but he is definitely out of touch with the times.

Neng Chengwen told Ludanovsky: "Zhao Chuanxin is domineering and intolerant of others. He has two brothers, one is Zhao Zhongyi and the other is Liu Baogui. These three are the most insidious. They drove our little brother away at the beginning. A group of heroes are running around in Gushan, and he is protected by the imperial eagle Chengming. If he is the only one to establish a peacekeeping bureau on the island, humming, there are many of us. When we arrive, we will turn around and kill this person to start the game. Isn’t Jianxuan happy?”

Ludanovsky hesitated: "Since you have a grudge against him, won't he recognize you?"

"No, he doesn't recognize me, but I recognize him." Neng Chengwen said: "Zhao Chuanxin has good marksmanship, Zhao Zhongyi has good martial arts, and Liu Guigui is good at planning. Without these two, Zhao Chuanxin has all the abilities." 50%. We pretended to be loyal and waited for an opportunity to swarm him and catch him. With the money we got, we could either build a bureau or seize a ship and fly away..."

The more they talked, the more excited they became, and they were ready to seek wealth and death.

When they arrived at Fuxiang County, outside the peacekeeping bureau, they saw Zhao Chuanxin talking to a Japanese with a frowning face.

"That person is Zhao Chuanxin."

"Other than being tall and strong, I can't see anything else. He doesn't even carry a gun. It's just because of his bigness. It seems that we got this deal."

"What's going on with those Japanese women?"

"I don't know."

When they got closer, they heard Zhao Chuanxin say to Kuroda Toshiro: "Stop talking nonsense and quickly make room for me so that my people can rest."

Masayoshi Sato was speechless.

After all, he was the mayor, but in front of Zhao Chuanxin, he looked down like a thief.

Kuroda Toshiro frowned: "How long will you stay?"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "When the house is built, they leave."

"That won't work."

Zhao Chuanxin had already discovered the gang of beggars, lit up a cigarette and said: "Before night, you have to get things done. If you don't get it done well, we at The Hague Arms Limitation Committee are not just for a living. The Bodhisattva lowered his eyebrows and glared angrily. , we will also use force."

"You..." Toriya Kuroda's nose was so angry that he said, "Does Commissioner Flos Feng know about this matter? If he knows, he will definitely not allow you to do this."

After all, the Peacekeeping Bureau is nominally under the jurisdiction of the Arms Limitation Commission in The Hague.

"Haha." Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "You have blind eyes and ears. There are some things you don't know yet. I heard that Floss Feng accepted a bribe from Japan, a large sum of money. If the money is lost, he has a heart attack. In case of emergency, no visitors will be allowed.”

"Then I will report it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and let the Ministry of Foreign Affairs communicate with the Arms Limitation Committee in The Hague."

"Sorry, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Information is not smooth on the island. I can't receive calls from The Hague. Everything others tell me is false."

"you……"

Zhao Chuanxin had already walked towards the group of idiots.

Ludanovsky glanced at Neng Chengwen beside him, stepped forward and said, "We listened to you, how are you going to arrange for us?"

Neng Chengwen shrank back slightly and sneaked into the crowd.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the pier: "Jump down first and wash your body and clothes. The Peacekeeping Bureau does not allow a single louse or flea to exist."

Ludanovsky said angrily: "Why? We came all the way and you treat your guests like this?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised his arms and walked over.

"Crack!"

"Zhuo Nima, I asked you to come here because you are employees of the Peacekeeping Bureau, and you think you are the boss?"

Zhao Chuanxin cursed while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Ludanovsky was stunned.

I never expected that I would be slapped a lot when I first arrived.

He shook his head and took another careful look, confirming that Zhao Chuanxuan's loose denim shirt and loose gray shorts showed no signs of hiding weapons.

At this moment, anger surged in his chest, and he raised his hand: "Everyone, copy this guy."

Masayoshi Sato on the side was stunned.

Are these people out of their minds?

Are you ready to spar with Zhao Chuanxin?

At this time, the document was ready to be written and had to be launched.

Although Ludanovsky did not act according to the original plan, Zhao Chuanxin did go too far.

I can only shout in the crowd: "Everyone should go shoulder to shoulder, there is no need to talk about morality..."

Carrying hatchets, kitchen knives, sticks and other miscellaneous weapons, these men rushed towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed Ludanovsky's arm, ran his fingers across his shoulder blades, and exerted force on his arms.

Tear...

He forcefully tore off his thin arms.

Tsk tsk...

Blood gushed out like a fountain.

The people behind him paused.

Neng Chengwen in the crowd widened his eyes with disbelief on his face.

I just feel like my two buttocks are fighting and my lower abdomen is swollen.

I'm so scared that I didn't pee.

Fortunately, he had been a kid back then and was used to seeing life and death.

In the past, Zhao Chuanxin was an expert with guns, but other than that, he had never heard of other abilities.

Good guy, you can actually rip off a person's arm now. How powerful is this?

Ludanovsky's friend behind him saw this and his eyes were splitting: "Fight with him."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he roared and rushed forward with a hatchet.

He chopped with a hatchet, but Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his wrist midway.

Zhao Chuanxin's control over his body has reached an incredible level.

When he controls his body, time seems to slow down. Now he can really rely on himself to dodge the gun before the enemy pulls the trigger, thereby achieving the purpose of dodging bullets.

Not to mention just a tetanus blade.

He pressed the opponent's wrist, clamped the handle of the knife with his other hand, turned the blade, pressed down, and aimed it at his abdomen.

Pierce, pull horizontally, pull obliquely, pull horizontally.

It crossed in a zigzag shape, breaking the opponent's stomach and intestines.

When the man knelt down holding the handle of the knife, Zhao Chuanxin walked around him and walked towards the man behind him.

Although these dozens of people were numerous and powerful, they were overtaken by the momentum of Zhao Chuanxin and forced to retreat continuously.

"Don't come over..."

So fucking brutal.

Neng Chengwen also backed up, turned around and wanted to run away.

Zhao Chuanxin took off and jumped, more than two meters high and about ten meters away. He stepped on the shoulders of everyone and was behind Neng Chengwen in the blink of an eye.

Then he grabbed the back of his clothes and said, "Zhao hates this person who doesn't follow the moral principles of the world the most in his life."

The souls of the deceased who could write a poem said: "A little red outside the pass, you, you are the one who is the most unethical!"

What he said is actually correct.

Lao Zhao has always had a bad reputation among the gangsters. He is synonymous with being cunning, cunning, cruel and vicious.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed a sickle from someone else's hand, passed the sickle around Neng Chengwen's left abdomen, and dug in with the tip.

Just as Zhao Chuanxin was about to pull the man across and break him in two, he heard Neng Chengwen cry out: "Let me go, let me tell you clearly, you are the general of Green Forest, and you have the same leg. You are here beside the Dragon Palace today." They are all slutty, no matter whether they destroy the kiln or start a game, they all need people and horses. I can see that your Excellency has deliberately gathered up this trick, and you must have a plan, and I am willing to help you..."

Zhao Chuanxin didn't do anything after hearing this.

Neng Chengwen was speaking in jargon.

The gist of it was: Let me go, I know what's happening. You are a well-known figure in the underworld. There are foreigners on this island. No matter what you want to do, you need manpower. You deliberately gathered the peasants from the North and South Islands. You must be doing something big. I'm convinced and willing to help...

Zhao Chuanxin pulled out his sickle and threw a piece of external medicine and gauze: "Bandage it yourself. Since you know me and dare to do this, you are really brave."

Neng Chengwen was sweating like a waterfall, and his smile was uglier than crying. He finally pulled half of his leg back from the gate of hell: "I am Neng Chengwen. I have the honor of meeting Mr. Zhao many years ago."

"Oh, so, then I suggest you ask more about it." Zhao Chuanxin said lightly. "Can you speak Russian?"

"Yes, I have learned a lot of it in the past two years on the island."

"Well, you are responsible for this group of Russians. Take them to clean up and come back to see me."

At this time, it was already the rainy season.

The sky was already covered with dark clouds, and now it was pouring down.

It was no problem for Zhao Chuanxin to let people go into the tower to avoid the rain.

...

Huining, Li Zaiming led people to the police station in the rain.

The Korean police at the police station saw a group of people entering the house and suddenly became nervous: "You, what are you doing?"

Both sides were holding rifles, but Li Zaiming had twice as many people as the police at the police station.

"What are you doing? You Korean traitors have been accomplices of the enemy for a long time. I am worried that you have forgotten your bloodline, so I came to remind you!"

"Li Zaiming, aren't you afraid of offending the Japanese?"

"Haha, the Japanese and the Backwater Army have already withdrawn. You lackeys have no people to rely on. I think..."

At this time, someone said behind him: "Huh? Ning is really not peaceful now. Any cat or dog dares to roar at the government office."

Li Zaiming turned around suddenly: "Looking for death! Who said that?"
